Readers, please feel free to download. OR you can upload the copy (I
emailed you) for readers.

Since you are not theory type person, perhaps, when you immerse
yourself in your mystical state, please try to investigate if you are
able to reduce (or derive) all innumerable subjective experiences (SEs,
such as redness, greenness, and so on for color, and other senses,
painfulness, happiness, sadness, etc.) into (or from) smaller number of
SEs.

For example, can you reduce (or derive) all color experiences (over
700,000 to million) into (from) just three SEs say redness, greenness,
and blueness, in analogy to red, green, blue colors in TV? Yogis seems
to claim that they can do it. My article is a
mathematical/neuroscience/metaphysical model for their claim. Your
effort will be very helpful as evidence that verifies the claim in
mystic way (if you are successful in this endeavor).

Here you go Sir, I am doing some free advertising for you. A cigar at
Yuletide would be fine  preferably Cuban and big :- )

Well, this one is predominantly about vision and colour; so here we go.
I have not got the faintest idea of as to how many colours and shades
of each colour which I can see with my physical eyes. Neither do I have
any interest in trying to count them :- ) I can see what I can see and
that is it. Nor can I change the way I see it, and neither do I want
to change the way I can see it, for it is just GREAT mate :- ) I could
not even begin to count the shades of green which I can see. I don't
see any point in counting them. I would rather look at them than count
them. Go out on Exmoor any day where there is sun and you will see
shades of green beyond your wildest dreams. To be there is ENOUGH.
Neither have I ever counted the number of trees in a forest. I have
three apples tress in the front garden, but I can know that without
counting them; I can just see that there is three :- ) I cannot just
see that there is ten of something, so I would have to count them. But
up to about six of something then I would not have to count them. Tis
funny you know, for I hardly ever remember peoples names, but I never
ever forget a face. And let us face it, the face IS more interesting
than the name they call it :- ) If people could swap faces and bodies
then by what would you remember them? I would remember them by the face
and the voice; not the body.

As for the Mystical and Transcendent States then I do NOT immerse
myself in them  nor can I. I don't even want them. I like it
here best. So, when they have happened then they just happened, I did
not do it, and neither would I. What would I want to do that for?

I am happy to talk about both vision and colours in the transcendent
states if you want me too. Let me know. But that is not done with the
physical eyes. I discovered that I had `eyes' elsewhere;
leastwise I could see; and in three dimensions and in colour; fantastic
colours which the physical eyes cannot see. Have you ever seen that
transcendent timeless paradise of the Ground of our Being, and the
colours there? Tis amazing and wondrous. But once is enough, you never
forget it. Never met any gods there though  just me. Neither did I
meet any of them on the way there. And I have never met any here
either. So I do not talk and write about things which I have not known
and lived through. Other folks seem to do enough of that :- )
